SUP Prominent in Days of ’47
“The true way to honor the past is to improve upon it,” So stated Elder John H, Groberg of the First Quorum of the Seventy, quoting the late Pres. N. Eldon Tanner, Elder Groberg was the keynote speaker at the annual Pioneer Day Sunrise Service held July 24 in the Tabernacle,
On its 230 pages are printed a total of 150 songs, approximately one-third of them from the LDS Hymn book, by permission of Church authorities. From the Daughters of Utah Pioneers collec¬ tion and from traditional songs in the public domain came additional familiar numbers.
But Nichols takes special pride in sixty original new songs, four of every ten, which were published for the first time in this volume, reflec¬ ting the work of living authors and composers.
Music for the service was pro¬ vided by the Jay Welch Chorale, with Dr. Rex Campbell as the commentator. Prior to the Choir’s rendition of “Oh How Lovely Was the Morning,” Dr, Campbell observ¬ ed that the story of the Pioneers really began in 1820 with the First Vision, The Mormon Battalion formed the color guard.
Special guests attending included Days of ’47 Royalty Bonnie Lundquist, Diana Burdett, and Sonya Powell. We were also pleased to welcome National SUP President Verl Petersen and Days of ’47 President Flip Harmon, The Sun¬ rise Service was sponsored by the Pioneer Chapter of SUP.

During April, 1874, Brother Brigham, moving north from St. George where he initiated the movement, came to the Sevier valley to organize the United Order among the settlements. Starting at Richfield and then spreading to the other Sevier settlements, the United Order was the ideal held up to the people.
However, the spirit of cooperation intended by the establishment of the United Order was to be smitten by all of its natural enemies. Only about two-thirds of the people in the valley-almost entirely Mormons-joined the Order as administered on an individual community basis. Only half joined in one town. Monroe was indicative of the turmoil.
While two-thirds of Monroe joined the Order, the bishop and several other leaders “just couldn't see the order,” The bishop was soon replaced and the burden of holding the community together was intensified. To provide incentive and encouragement, President Joseph A. Young told the Saints that “the United Order will try men as plurality has tried women. This order is not the last principle of the gospel. We will yet be tried upon other things. "This warning served as a prelude to many difficulties which would indeed “try” the people of Monroe.

Support Not Complete
When MCMI was organized a year earlier, just over 70 people enlisted. Only 48 subscribed to the United Order and one-fourth of them had belonged to MCMI. Both organizations existed simultaneously.
In order to bring about the success of the Sevier communities, like other collections of towns, an endeavor of cooperation was proposed for the communities. The first projects were in cooperative herds; horses, sheep and cattle. Later a cooperative tannery served the valley. Each town followed suit with the spirit of cooperation, organizing townsfolk for the mutual benefit of all. Monroe was no exception.
serving as the seat of both the civil government and ecclesiastical leadership, Brigham Young’s eldest son, Joseph, was sent to serve as stake president. He brought with him his father’s vision of a domain independent from the outside world and free from the trappings of civilization.
While other religious groups made attempts at achieving a Christian community the experience in Utah was unique in size and scope, A study of the United Order in Monroe, Utah, illustrates the human effort required to implement the holding of all things in common in an environment alien to such lofty ideals.
Cooperative Efforts Begin
United Order in Monroe: Idealism Fails
Sevier Settlements Chosen Brigham Young reinstituted the United Order among the Saints in April, 1874 and the small settlements in Sevier Valley were restructured accord¬ ing to “the will of the Lord.’"
The settlement began to prosper as new families were attracted to the little town, soon renamed Alma. But the settlers had just put down roots when Indian difficulties in central Utah caused the whole of Sevier valley to be abandoned. Most returned to the northern valleys where they previously lived to await the end of hostilities.
Monroe is a small town located ten miles south of Richfield in central Utah. The community was established just one-half mile from the mountains to the east and six miles across the valley from the mountains of the west. The first settlers in what was then called South Bend arrived during the mid-1860’s from the valleys to the north, mostly Sanpete,
The Blackhawk War prevented the resettlement of Alma until 1871. A few families came back at first and soon the little community nestled near the mountains began to take the appearance of a thriving settlement. By the following year, eighty families resided in Alma, Portraying a picture of permanence and industry, the town qualified for a postal office and—in honor of America's fifth president-the community was renamed Monroe.
Mormons of the nineteenth-century shared a quest with a handful of other American religious groups: implementing a higher form of Christianity through the sharing of time, talents and means. The phenom¬ enon among the Latter-day Saints was most commonly known as the United Order, although there were several names used to describe this pursuit of godliness.
by Ronald O. Barney Church HistoricalDepartment
Mormon attempts to live this higher law of Christianity had scriptural precedents in both the New Testament and the Book of Mormon, The idealized descriptions of behavior among the ancients was obviously a goal for early Church leaders. Early in the 1830’s and then again during the first decade of their presence in Utah the Latter-day Saints tried to make themselves, as a community, right before God, only to be deterred by both internal and external influences. In the I870’s the climate again appeared right for the Latter-day Saints to attempt to fulfill their destiny.
In 1873, Zions Cooperative Mercantile Institution (ZCMI) served as the pattern when the Monroe Cooperative Mercantile Institution (MCMI) was cre¬ ated for the benefit of the community. MCMI attracted over seventy subscribers representing most of the families in the town. The bishop of Monroe became the president of MCMI. The irrigation system, crucial to any Utah farming community, was a cooperative endeavor. It appeared the spirit of sharing had caught hold in the people of Monroe.
In the 1870’s, Monroe was one of a dozen entities in the Sevier valley, Richfield being the largest and
Just as the community was beginning to stand up straight and to flex, a full dose of cooperation was introduced that proved to be more than the people could swallow.
Three Mormon apostles traveled to Monroe about a year later to encourage the Saints to stay with the Order, They defended the Order and warned that the Lord still expected them to unify in this cooperative effort. They used the example of the successful program in Orderville to show it could be done. By this time, however, the die was cast.
Seven months after the apostles admonished the community to renewed effort, they voted to disband the United Order, in November, 1877. Most of the other Orders in the Sevier valley disbanded at about the same time. This corresponded to the abandonment of the cooperative effort throughout Utah territory and not coincidentally with the death of the great visionary of the United Order, Brigham Young.
Eventually, differences among members of the governing board of the United Order festered into open conflict. The decision was made to separate the United Order from the ecclesiastical functions of the church. The new bishop remained in his religious
The experiment of cooperation among the Latterday Saints was conceived to make a good people better. Selfishness took the blame, after the fact, when it failed and no doubt was the main culprit. Yet, this concept of cooperation is still the ideal of the descendants of the settlers of Monroe—awaiting a future time when it may not be just an experiment but a calculated effort at holiness.
Those of the Order (Enochites) held their dances separate from the “outsiders” who had not joined the order. The main feature of continuity in the com¬ munity was the church. Yet, several were unchurched due to hostility to the United Order. Word reached Salt Lake City that there were irreconcilable differences among the Monroe inhabitants. Apostle Erastus Snow visited the community and concluded that the current bishop was the most divisive influence in the town. He was called on a mission and a new bishop who had the affection of most of the towns inhabitants was selected. He had been an enthusiastic supporter of the Order but had also been a subscriber to the MCMI. Still, individualism prevailed among the people, foreshadowing the demise of the Order.
Leadership Undermined
calling and a new layman was appointed to head the United Order. Separated from the United Order, the ecclesiastical organization worked more effectively.
Once the decision to disband the Order was made there was one more bout of discord-dividing up what had been consecrated to the Order. After this huge hurdle had been cleared, in a gesture of good faith, the Saints were rebaptized to symbolize their desire to bury the old differences.
The former bishop continued as president of the MCMI, and the division that followed caused a social split.

The impact of the Order, though of short duration, was important for building public facilities in the community, including the Monroe Ward meetinghouse, which at that time was the largest building of its kind in Sevier valley. Education was also a priority among those living the Order; the emphasis on community schools benefited the entire community.

Apparently a long standing kitrafamily feud was involved. But the terrible complications will fall on his heirs, those he favored as well as those he did not favor.

As we hear of these kinds of problems, questions come to our minds. Just what makes up my estate, should I have a will, what about the use of joint tenancy to avoid probate, when should a trust be used, what about death taxes?

Pablo Picasso, the towering figure of 20th Century art, who left an “incalculable fortune” in pic¬ tures, left no will. Ordinarily, failure to make a will is not newsworthy. The tendency to pro¬ crastinate is widespread and some of the best people unfortunately die intestate. But Picasso, 91 at the time of his death, was a special case. According to a recent news item, he intentionally waited too long to make his will, with a full understanding of the consequences. Reportedly, he died without a will on purpose. Warned by his lawyer of terrible complications if made no will, Picasso is said to have laughed and retorted, “whatever complica¬ tion you can dream up, the reality when it comes will be infinitely worse,”

His vengeful prediction was probably right. Picasso's widow, a son by a previous marriage and three other children have valid claims to his estate. Even after the French courts apply the intestacy laws and also decide the disposition of certain works Picasso held in trust, a vast potential for family

My husband was very suc¬ cessful. He had property, insurance, securities and he left everything to me. He always said that if he died first, 1 would never have to worry about money. How little he knew.

Your probate estate consists of property which is in your name alone. It must be administered through the Probate Court which in Utah is the District Court. It is the property that passes under the provisions of your will or under the intestate laws if you have no will.

They were buried at a remote cemetery located on the west side of Wanship along the west Hoytsville road.

We usually think about pioneers as being the past, and most pioneer history is written about men.
But both men and women are pioneering in different ways in our time for generations that are to come. Pearl McDonald is a mod¬ ern-day pioneer in swimming, physical education, and business.
She graduated from the University of Utah in 1923, In May of this year. Pearl received the Merit of Honor Award from the University of Utah Emeritus Club,

As Logan City celebrated Pioneer Day this year, the Temple Fork Chapter and Company D of the Mormon Battalion joined hands in setting up a public exhibit at the Cache County fair grounds center for arts and crafts.
Pearl was the first woman to swim in July, 1920, from Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake to the Saltair Resort. At one time she held all Intermountain AAU swimming records for women, and she has taught swimming and physical education in the secondary schools of the area* She was president of the Millerberg Land and Investment Company for twelve years.

What about the use of joint tenancy to avoid probate? This is fine if your estate is of moderate size, as property held in joint tenancy passes to the survivor by operation of law without requiring an administration in the probate court. Such property will, of course, pass to the survivor regardless of any provisions you may have in your Will.

One other thought with respect to the use of joint tenancy: for Federal Estate Tax purposes, jointly owned property is included in your estate only to the extent that you furnished the funds with which the property was acquired. Therefore, if your spouse has an independent income or has received an inher¬ itance from her family, careful records should be kept to prove just whose funds were used to acquire the property, A good idea is to put your name first in holding title to property purchased with your funds and her name first where her funds were used to acquire the property.
Father, Five Sons Life Members
Suppose you have minor chil¬ dren and you are not survived by your wife. A guardian would be appointed for the estates of your children. Children would be entitled to receive their shares without restriction at age 18, a pretty young age. Your Will could provide for a trust for the benefit of the children and postpone their right to receive the property until a later age. If a child is incapacitated the trust might continue for his benefit as long as he lives. In your will you could designate a member of your family as guardian of the person of your children.
In addition to previous Pioneer listings of fathers who have given life memberships to their sons (Vol. 32, Nos. 1 and 2, 1985), one other should be noted.
